Replying to a comment on:

Mixed Quartet (Free verse) by Dovina

They were variously toned, but harmoniously united. They broadcast a whole, surpassing parts summed. Soprano: orientally quick, precise. Alto: whitely sharp, analytical. Tenor: latinly soulish, devoted. Bass: Africanly smooth, limber. But they were all the same race, geneticists say.

Why, at Christmastime, must you dwell on all the racial wrongs? All I wanted to do is depict racial harmony through the metaphor of a quartet, where all the people, with thier different apprarances and voices, sing in harmony. The Chrismas quartet singing in the winter night is nostalgic, and I wished to link that to the prospect of racial harmony, which, by the way, I think has been achieved to a greater extent than you imply.
